If you think like a bird, you will appreciate the bird brained features designed for bird comfort, bird convenience and bird safety. The finished birdhouse is 9-1/2 inches high. |
|
Building a birdhouse is inexpensive, simple, and fun for the whole family. The model presented here is everything that swallows--and many other songbirds--look for in a new home. |
|
Wrens find almost any sort of cavity good enough to suit their needs. Boxes of small size with horizontal slots for entrance are best. Minimal instruction provided at this link. |
|
I drew up a quick plan (too quick: I forgot to adjust the floor size down, so had to do some extra cutting) for a chickadee house, after which I checked the lumber room at the Woodcraft store in Parkersburg for good wood. |
|
Marilyn got the idea for this at a you-paint ceramics store that had a ceramic purse/vase. I did the design and all the building and she did all the hard work of making it a piece of art. We think you will like this little project. |
|
We have been seeing these at street fairs and Saturday markets around the area and since we had an old license plate we decided to make our own. They are simple and a good way to use up an old license plate. |
|

Materials are not critical. Cedar is nice. It is often rough cut, or simulated, which is good for grip, and it endures. When fresh, it has a repelling effect on some insect pests. Pine will do. |
|
Roof and house sides of the wren house are made of either inch or 5/16 inches apple crate lumber. The four roof boards are cut with compound angle cuts with the miter gage set at 50 degrees and the saw blade tilted at 24 degrees. All cuts are made with one miter gage setting by flopping the piece as shown in Photo No. 2. |

Another model has a keyhole in the back panel for mounting on a tree, fence or wall, and the roof is cut flush with the back panel. |
